RUST -634

The clones were outraged when their meeting with Maru ended due to No. 17’s sudden fainting.

I ended up getting angry.

Number 17, you two years old. You said you were mentally sensitive, and now you fainted in that precious spot?

“Ahhhhhh! The King said you worked hard!”

“Maybe we could have eaten together!”

“Even if you can’t eat rice, you can still drink tea!”

While the representative clones were furious in front of the hospital room where No. 17 had passed out, war clouds were gathering in the indoor stadium where the Naruze had gathered.

The number of people who can follow is at most 10%. Then how do you select the top 10%? Since they are clones with the same physical abilities, they are similar.

They trained together and received education together. How on earth did they decide on 10%? They had no choice but to come to the same conclusion as the clones who are now representatives.

“Let’s climb the ladder.”

“A thousand-person ladder?”

“It’ll take time to draw it.”

“First, cut it in half by flipping a coin. Then, the Rose of Sharon has bloomed. Finally, climb the ladder.”

“good.”

“You all agree? You’ll know later if I say something different, right?”

So began the game for a trip to Europe with my brother. The game of clones.

And while the fierce ladder climbing was in full swing, the representative clones returned. The three representatives, led by No. 17, who had suddenly become a sinner, shouted in unison.

Kaaaaaaal!!

Who dares to pick someone and cause chaos!

Who would go or not go if the representative didn’t give permission? Why would they vote for someone among themselves?

“invalidity.”

“No way.”

“Fall down.”

“······.”

!!!

The representatives who had been in a state of turmoil overturned the table. The representatives could not go to Europe because they were in charge of Naruj.

Kkaaaaaaaaaah!

Naruzu, who had fallen from the clone game, shouted in joy.

Eeeeeeeeeeek!

The Naruzus, who had the final match left, screamed in frustration.

While the indoor stadium echoed with Naruzu’s screams, Psychometric Erika examined the mercenaries.

“Next.”

At Erica’s words, the nurse brought in the next person. The mercenary stared at Erica. She greeted him briefly.

“hello.”

“You are beautiful.”

“yes?”

“You are beautiful.”

“Ah. Yes- thank you.”

“No need to thank me. I told you the truth. So, do you have time after work?”

“Because I have to work overtime.”

“Working late? That’s great. Working late. History is something that happens late at night…”

History and night? What era is this comment? Erika, who was feeling dizzy, closed her ears and focused her mind. The mercenary’s brain was filled with only 19+ content.

‘What is 19?’

Just a disposable thought. How many abnormally brain-dead mercenaries are there already?

‘What on earth is going on?’

Montreal was a city rich in human resources, with people evacuating from nearby areas. So there were a lot of mercenaries with baskets in their heads who could easily satisfy their needs.

I’d have to dig a little deeper to find out the exact cause, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do that. Erica put a hold on it, and wrote in small letters as the reason for the hold: ‘Severe sexual obsession.’

“When will our nurse sister finish work?”

“I work overtime too.”

“When you’re tired from working overtime, it’s good to sweat it out, relieve some stress, and then get a good night’s sleep.”

“······.”

The mercenary who had been flirting with Erica a moment ago was flirting with the nurse as he left. The mercenary who had been flirting with the nurse winked when he made eye contact with Erica.

under?

At that point, I wonder if it’s a disease. Erica added, “Psychiatric counseling is needed.” This information was reported immediately.

Maru nodded occasionally as he read the report. Fortunately, the crime rate wasn’t that high.

The unbridled incarnations of sexual desire seemed ready to set the world on fire, but in reality the crimes committed were no different than before.

“That’s fortunate.”

“That’s good. But how long will this last?”

Ki-soon poured cold water on him.

“Do you think something is going to happen?”

“It would be strange if it didn’t explode. There are so many people targeting Naruzu.”

I didn’t know how it would explode, because there were people who said they would celibate for Nowruz. In the worst case scenario, it might explode in that direction.

“Is that it?”

“It’s beyond imagination. They even managed to break through the strict security and infiltrate the indoor stadium. If you just give these guys a mission and offer them a one-day date with Naruzu as a reward, they’ll go anywhere, regardless of the danger.”

Maru smiled bitterly at Ki-sun’s boast.

“Naru was originally very popular. Even in elementary and middle school, there were a lot of kids who would push me around, so you and I would have to work hard together.”

“Okay. So what do you think? Do you think the clones can live normally? What about the clone leader?”

“Didn’t you say you were going to have an interview with the representatives?”

“There was a kid who fainted when he saw me.”

When I tried to talk to the kids who were chosen as representatives, I heard that the schedule was canceled because one of them suddenly fainted. Ki-sun asked with a puzzled expression.

“Who fainted?”

“They said it was number 17.”

Ki-soon nods his head as if to say that it could have been No. 17 at Maru’s answer.

“Number 17? That could be him. He’s the one who noticed the clones splitting up this time. He’s the one who shared similar senses with the psychic world. That’s why he seems a bit sensitive. And he doesn’t talk much either.”

“Anyway, I didn’t have time to talk to the representatives.”

One person passed out, so what else could they add to it?

“Ugh- The representatives are nice guys. They have bright personalities too. Anyway, I’ve seen their faces, so that’s good enough. So what do you think about selling date tickets and using them to hire mercenaries?”

“Honestly, it doesn’t require a separate budget and it’s effective in many ways, but it won’t work. Don’t you think it’s a bit much to force someone to go on a date?”

Ki-soon narrowed her eyes at Maru’s groaning.

“What do you mean by forced? Just think of it as a dating experience course. I’m not forcing you to progress. Why are you taking it so seriously when you’re just asked to go on a date?”

It was Gi-sun’s voice that had hidden anger in it.

“It’s not fifteen, it’s over a thousand. Over a thousand? What are you going to do with that number later? If you’re not going to let them live like that, you should at least let them meet a man and have a meal together.”

“Can you force it? It will happen when the time comes.”

“Do as you wish, but can’t you tell by the fact that they’re into you right now? They’re idols. Even if I look from afar, I can’t find the answer. But are you just going to leave it alone? What if they all go, “Oppa? Oppa-aah- whoosh-”? Are you going to go and scream and say that there’s an error?”

“Don’t overdo it.”

It was a horrible sound to even imagine.

“I see you’re looking for an over. I think Your Majesty should also try rolling around in a virtual reality. After killing ten thousand people, I don’t think you’ll think about things like force or over.”

“Are you still thinking about that?”

Ki-soon responded in disbelief to Maru’s question about whether there was any leftover resentment from the forced correction using virtual reality.

“What are you talking about? If you want to educate and govern Naruzu, you have to teach him in the beginning and fry him. I’m not asking him to do something difficult, but I’m asking him to have a meal together as a daily date. If he can’t even do that, do you think he’ll be able to live in this world in many ways?”

If it were like before, I would have opposed even a single strand of Naru’s hair being transferred to another guy. Could it be a side effect of the physical transfer? As if he had read Maru’s expression, Ki-sun’s eyes narrowed.

“why?”

“I thought you had changed too.”

When I was obsessed, I felt so suffocated, but when I saw him act like nothing had happened, I realized that he really was like that.

“What’s the big deal? Why are we even discussing that now?”

Ki-soon, who had been grumbling, handed over the data.

“Mr. Den Brown wants to have a meeting about the economy. He says things are okay for now, but if we continue like this, neither of us will get better, so let’s come up with a plan together.”

“and?”

“The Confederacy is said to have knighted talented cannibals and given them outlying villages as manors. Not major cities, though.”

A manor ruled by knights and elite soldiers. The upper-level cannibals are knights, and the lower-level soldiers are elite soldiers. The villagers feed them and they protect the villagers.

In order to eat well, accumulate achievements, and become a noble, you had to take good care of the estate. Naturally, it was a system that could not help but be sincere in protecting the safety of the villagers.

“Wow. Your ideas are amazing in many ways.”

“It’s nothing special. If we look at the essence, we’re similar.”

Maru’s brow furrowed at Ki-sun’s answer.

The Holy Kingdom was similar in that humans were ‘protected’.

While the Confederacy defended remote villages with cannibals, the Holy Kingdom defended its stronghold villages with artificial intelligence, crows, and wolves.

“It’s crossing the line to say that we are similar to those who eat people.”

“It’s a story that goes beyond whether you eat or not. It’s true that they are similar in that they use non-humans to protect humans.”

That’s why the PD’s argument resonated.

The only thing that can protect humans is humans. If we grant human rights to clones, it must be to protect humans.

‘If even the concept of humans protecting humans disappears, there will be no hope for this world.’

It was Maru who recalled the PD’s words.

The hope he was talking about was salvation. Not salvation that means going to heaven after death, but salvation that means being able to survive in this world.

If the world becomes one where humans cannot protect humans, how will humans survive in such a world?

That’s why the PD thought that crows and wolves were given rights, and artificial intelligence was given the right to self-defense and protection. Everything was done just to protect humans.

‘In a world that is perishing, only the Holy Kingdom will be the ark that will save humanity.’

Ki-sun continued talking, seemingly unaware of Maru’s deep thoughts.

“···If we only consider efficiency, the Confederacy’s choice of feudalism is not a bad thing. In fact, it could be said to be effective. To be honest, if the current climate continues, it is true that the existing national system will be difficult to maintain.”

The situation is isolated every winter. Even if the weather gets warmer and you can go out, it will only last about 5~6 months. Even then, last year, the midsummer temperature rose to 40~50, melting the asphalt and blowing out the tires.

If this year is similar to last year, the period of time during which one can move freely is about 4 months out of the year, or 12 months.

Considering the drastic temperature changes, from minus 50 degrees Celsius in winter to plus 50 degrees Celsius in summer, roads and railways were not likely to withstand it.

Since it was the Holy Kingdom, it would be easy to hold out, but it was obvious that the Confederacy and the Empire would be in trouble.

“Right now, regular cars can drive on it, but in a few years, it will be difficult to drive on it unless it’s a four-wheel drive vehicle. The same goes for large trucks.”

“Mass distribution will be difficult.”

“Yes. The Confederacy has no ravens, so they can’t be supplied by airship. They have no choice but to go back to feudalism, whether they like it or not.”

If people abandon their villages and flock to the cities, who will do the farming and raise the cattle?

As food production decreased, the general population also decreased. In the long run, this meant that the survival of cannibals and vampires was also threatened.

Limiting urbanization and promoting and protecting agriculture and livestock farming were not just for the common people. They were also essential for the survival of the so-called new human race.

“And why do you keep giving us Confederate information while you ask us to talk about economic issues?”

“Let’s cooperate.”

“So what does your Majesty think?”

“Cooperation on economic issues. If the Confederacy is mentioned, put it on hold for now.”

“why?”

“Anyway, unless we are prepared for nuclear weapons, an all-out war is impossible. Knowing that, if we continue to talk about the Confederacy, we must assume there is another intention.”

Ki-sun also agreed with Maru’s analysis.

“I see. So who is going to this economic cooperation meeting?”

“Who is it? His Excellency Governor Kim Ki-soon must go.”

Ki-sun’s expression suddenly crumpled.

“Again? You want me to go again? How about sending Xenia Roden? She was a good negotiator, too.”

“Hood? He can’t, he’s busy with the design of the water city security and managing the AI.’

“You said you were going to Europe. Wouldn’t it be better for you to stop by on your way to Europe? Since New York is on the way, you can stop by for a bit and then go.”

“If I go, the atmosphere that was pleasant will become murderous.”

Would an empire that was serious about cloning miss the chance to get the best sample? If they were to forcefully antagonize and cross the line, a catastrophe would occur. That would be the end of it.

Maru didn’t want to give that any chance in the first place.

“Ha- s-yeah I’ll go. I’ll do it.”

“Good work. Do you need anything from Europe?

“Don’t need a thing. Take care of your king’s things in abundance. With dignity. In something noble.”

“Hey. Good work.”

40 Naruze who passed the ‘Clone Game 2’ mixed with the wrath of the 4 representative clones and 52 mercenaries selected through psychometry entered the European expedition force.

[France. To Paris.]

The target is France, home to 2,430 tons of gold.

Behind the sleek, sleek airship, 22 small airships took flight in formation.

=====

=====

It took a full day to get to Paris, France.

From the moment the European continent covered in white snow came into view, the enthusiastic welcome greetings caught my eye.

Maru calmly raised his altitude.

“Altitude increase.”

[Battleship’s altitude increases.]

The end of a long stream of black smoke.

Burning villages and ruined cities welcomed Maru.
